She Looks Down At the Street

She looks down at the street
As the rain fall
Busy cars passes by
As her mind drifts
She imagines dragons
All small or tall
And fairies are walking
Carrying gifts

Loneliness

My soul and rain are one
lost in despair
like an empty cold street
made of cut stone
neither ever escapes
its solitaire
languishing in darkness
both are alone!

Monsoon Mourning

Again this loneliness
Again this pain
Like a desolate place
Oh my heart aches
Heavens come to my aid
I grieve in vain
Let us together cry
Ere love forsakes!

Monochrome Memories

As fragmented skies weep My night of gray Monochrome memories And cobblestone Dreams silently await The break of day when suddenly I hear The telephone!

All Drenched

Drenched in ashen night
My thoughts are gone
Where a road pales afar
My shadow torn
Like a moan in the flesh
Weeping upon
A trail of love’s vignettes
Stained by rainstorm!

Dewfresh Morn

Praise this renewed daybreak
Grace of sunlight
Pouring into my home
Blessings unfold
To grant me well with peace
That work be bright 
In times of restlessness
My strength I hold !

Visual of a Verso

(Wined Floor)

The wine brewed without
Drip drop drip drop
Visual temptations lured me
My bronze tresses wet
Down the nape to my soul
Red painted toes
Danced on the wined floor
Decked for love.

Bad Choice

Deep inside the sorrow
Hollow words ring
Again to be shut out
March through the heart
Pain in the solitude
Always will bring
Angst for a future lost
At death we part!

Dew Fresh Morn

An ombré of coal black
zinnia red
across stygian sky
metamorphose
the stelliferous night
when sunrays tread
the dewy morn awakes
red as a rose!

Hope There Is None Visual of a Verso

my soul is torn in two

trapped  in this tomb

in anguish  and despair

do I dare run

hide in shadowed alleys

my scars  consume

thoughts I cannot forgive

hope there is none

Fear of Unknown

Third night of loneliness
mixed thoughts in brain
Her heart bleeds for her love
doorway she stays
As her soul travels through
tunnel of pain
This road she'd never walked
why now?she says.

Contest title:  VIBRATIONS FROM A VERSO Poetry Contest  Date: July 26, 2025




A sky like a pressed coal
Stars like embers
Shadows unforgiving
Absence of light
Dust-laden silent air
Faint warmth enters
The dark brushes the skin
Scream of the night!

Song In the Night

A quiet night like this Has its twin stilled Yet echoes in my heart A siren song Notes find their way to yours Till flesh is filled With urgent steps for home For each we long!

Rejuvenated

Rejuvenated 






All desires washed away 
The azure weeps
To dark night's illumine
Sobs subtle heart
Some reflections of past
Usurp my sleeps
As all life rests tranquil
For a fresh start !

Downpour

She sits with heavy heart
Watching the rain
Pouring relentlessly
As feelings flow
Warm tears run down her face
Easing the pain
Until the deluge stops
And street lights glow!

The Soldier's Girl

Like the note she let fall her heart is torn With the downpour she weeps while far away on streets where hell rained down Night is reborn blood on slick stones now washed from where he lay! Written 8/20/2015 by Andrea Dietrich For the Visual of a Verso Poetry contest of nette onclaud

Lay down
Back straight
On Mother Earth
meditate
Breathe in 3
Hold in 5
Release in 7
Be the connection
between earth and heaven
Connect the dots
with hands and feet
In figure 8
the circuits complete
We are 3 times 6
made manifest
In 360 degrees
we face this test.

Heatpumps Are Grand

A wood stove takes some work
to keep it lit
and is in fact a job
for younger men
With wood to chop and haul
and then to split
and just as you sit down
it's time again!

                                        *****

in the dark coal of night
the light the light
is hidden from our sight 
each one is blind
and silent deaf and dumb
without the right 
to question why oh why
can't You be kind!
